Ingredients
Scale
- 3 oz gluten-free soy sauce or tamari sauce
- 1 tbsp avocado oil
- 2 large cloves of garlic
- 1/3 cup honey
- 1.5 lbs chicken thighs (5–6 pieces)
- sesame seeds (optional)
Instructions
- Step: Measure out the soy sauce, honey, and oil into a measuring cup.
- Step: Mince or press the garlic and add it to the cup, stirring to combine.
- Step: Place the boneless skinless chicken thighs in a large resealable bag or shallow dish.
- Step: Pour about half of the marinade over the chicken to coat evenly and seal the container. Reserve the remaining marinade separately.
- Step: Marinate in the refrigerator for 1 hour, flipping halfway through.
- Step: Remove chicken from the fridge 15-20 minutes before grilling.
- Step: Pour the reserved marinade into a saucepan, heat to medium-high, and simmer for 4-5 minutes until thickened; set aside to cool.
- Step: Preheat grill to medium heat (350-375F).
- Step: Grill chicken for 5 minutes per side with the lid closed.
- Step: Flip the chicken, brush with the thickened glaze, and cook for another 5-8 minutes until the internal temperature reaches 165 degrees F.
- Step: Remove from the grill, sprinkle with sesame seeds if desired, and let rest for 5 minutes before serving.
Notes
This recipe makes enough marinade to allow for a portion to be used as a glaze. Ensure the grill temperature does not exceed 375F to prevent the honey from burning.
